Why We Chose Iowa

In 2000 our older son, Patrick, won the state level of Destination Imagination and we went to Ames for the World competition. We were attracted to Iowa’s natural beauty, low crime rate, good education system, and found there were only a few acupuncturists to serve the community. We made the move to Iowa where our children are getting a good education and Family Acupuncture is helping Iowans understand and reap the benefits of Chinese medicine.
